ENGLISH
Cleaning and Replacing the Filter
Clean the filter periodically. If the filter is heavily stained and does not get clean, or if it is d\
amaged, replace the filter
with a new filter (part No.: LC30208). Otherwise, dirt may get inside \
and appear on the screen, possibly preventing you
from enjoying the video image fully. If dirt gets inside or if you need information about the filter, consult your
Faroudja dealer where you have purchased the projector or Faroujda service.
1Turn off the MAIN POWER switch.
After the projector goes into stand-by state with the STAND BY indicator on, turn off the main power switch and pull out the
power cord from the projector and the wall outlet.
2Remove the filter.
Loosen the screw with a flat-end screwdriver.
ScrewFilter
Be careful not to
damage the claws.
3Clean the filter.
Clean the filter with a neutral detergent, wash it in water, and then dry it in the shade.
4Reinstall the filter.
Fasten the screw with a flat-end screwdriver.
Notes
¥ Install the filter correctly. Otherwise, the projector does not operate. (Goes into an emergency mode.)
¥ If the filterÕs claws are damaged, the projector may not operate. Then, replace with a new filter.
CAUTIONS
¥ Put on rubber gloves when using neutral detergent.
¥ After you have washed the filter in water, make sure the filter iscompletely dry before reinstalling it. Otherwise, electric shock
or malfunction could occur.
¥ Do not clean the filter using a vacuum cleaner. Since the filter is soft, it may be sucked into the vacuum cleaner or damaged.
Notes
¥ The screws are fitted so that they do not come off the filter.
¥ If the filter is clogged with dirt, etc., the projector goes into an
emergency mode (the EMERGENCY indicator blinks).
So, clean the filter periodically. For the emergency mode, refer to
pages 9 and 25.

ENGLISH
* This projector is equipped with a microcomputer that may operate abnorma\
lly due to interference from external components.If this happens, turn off the main power and disconnect the power cord from the wall AC outlet. Then reconnect the power cord
to AC outlet and turn on the main power again.
(For the turning on and off the power, see pages 25 to 26.)
Symptom Probable cause Corrective action Page

video image bows or
distorts.
Video image and
audio sound suddenly
go out.

Maintenance
¥ Stains on the cabinet
Should be wiped off with a soft cloth. If the cabinet is heavily stained, wipe it with a c\
loth soaked in water-diluted neutral
detergent and wrung well, then wipe clean with a dry cloth.
¥ Since the cabinet may deteriorate in quality, become damaged or get its paint peeled off, be careful about the follo\
wing: Ð Do not wipe it with a hard cloth.
Ð Do not wipe it strong.
Ð Do not wipe it with thinner or benzene.
Ð Do not apply any volatile substance such as insecticides to it.
Ð Do not allow any rubber or vinyl article to remain in contact with \
it for a long time.
¥ Stains on the lens Sould be cleaned off with commercially available blowers or lens cleaning paper (for clean\
ing glasses and cameras).
Do not use liquid cleaning agents. This could cause the surface coating to be removed.
Do not rub or hit the lens as its surface is prone to damage.
